In a response letter (which can be viewed by clicking on the pdf link below), FPL stated it believed, “the revised version of the design values were developed using ASTM standards or other technically sound criteria and as such represent an appropriate estimate of the Southern Pine design values at this time.”

As reported earlier, ALSC will hold a hearing in Washington, DC on January 30, 2013 to review SPIB’s data and allow all interested parties to provide input on the recommended changes to Southern Pine design values.
